The male lead went insane after the female supporting character gave birth to the main villain'

At this moment, Qin Yang was focused on himself and how to save his own life. He didn't think about how many people he might infect if he carried the plague and traveled all the way back to Kunjing.

After returning to Kunjing, how many more people will be infected?

Perhaps he had thought of it, but he didn't care about the lives of those people at all. As long as he could live, he didn't care how many others died.

Qin Yan gave him a deep look, then turned and arranged for another deputy leader of the troops to lead the yamen runners to patrol the west and north of the city.

Qin Yang wanted to abandon Qin Yan, Su Yan, and the others and leave the city with his two hundred personal guards, but Su Zhan wouldn't let anyone open the city gate for him.

Qin Yang used his status to pressure Su Zhan, but Su Zhan only obeyed Qin Yan's orders and completely ignored him.

Qin Yang then attacked Su Zhan. Su Zhan completely disregarded his status as the Third Prince and the Prince of Chang'an, knocking him off his horse and ordering someone to carry him back to the county government office.

outside the city.

Within half a day, the news of the plague outbreak in the small town where the champion lived was spread by many ill-intentioned people.

The news reached Kunjing overnight. Some anxious people, without even finding out the details, hastily submitted a petition to Emperor Yongchang the next morning, requesting that he send troops to besiege the small city and prevent the Champion King from carrying the plague out of the city.

Later, he was told that when the plague was discovered, the champion king had taken the initiative to seal off the city from the inside, preventing the people from entering or leaving, and he and his subordinates had never stepped out of the city gates.

The man returned to the group with a flushed face, head bowed, too ashamed to face anyone.

Less than half a day after the morning court session ended, news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Kunjing that the Champion King had committed too many sins and had been rejected by Heaven, which sent down a plague as punishment.

Su Yan learned of these rumors from the system, sneered, and took out a panacea for the plague from the system.

She pretended to be engrossed in her research behind closed doors, staying in her room for two whole days without venturing out, sometimes even skipping meals, and finally managed to compile a prescription for the plague.

The first stage of the plague only causes dizziness, weakness, and persistent coughing, without fever or coma. This condition is much easier to treat than symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and persistent high fever.

Su Yan's medicine had just been given to the test subjects, and before the effects were known, a middle-aged man appeared outside the south gate, claiming to have a prescription for treating the plague and wanting to enter the city to treat the people.

Qin Yan and Su Zhan naturally trusted Su Yan's medicine, but having another prescription that could cure the plague would be safer.

So the man was allowed in and, under the watchful eyes of his retainers, began treating the people.

In less than half an hour, he wrote out a prescription.

The servants prepared the medicine and brewed it, then found a person to test it. After only two hours, the person's condition improved significantly.

Meanwhile, the people who tried the medicine on Su Yan's side also showed improvement, even more so than the middle-aged man's prescription.

"Great! With Ayan and that gentleman's prescription, the people in the city can be saved!" Upon receiving the news, Su Zhan happily summoned Huang Jingshan to guard the city wall, then dismounted, mounted his horse, and headed straight for the county government office.

Qin Yan looked relaxed. Su Yan was using a small scale to prepare the medicine, and he was beside her helping to wrap the medicine with oil paper.

Not long after, the middle-aged man came looking for them with a packet of medicine in his eyes.

When he saw Su Yan, a ten-year-old girl, preparing medicine, his eyes widened and he stared intently at her movements.

Su Yan merely glanced at him before continuing to prepare the medicine, not realizing that he had come to see her.

Qin Yan looked at the servant beside the man. The servant bowed and reported, "Your Highness, this gentleman insisted on seeing Miss Su after seeing the medicine she prepared. We were unable to stop him, and we beg Your Highness to punish us."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man, He Qianji, finally spared a glance from Su Yan for Qin Yan. "I am the Valley Master of Ten Thousand Poisons Valley. I have plenty of poisons on my hands. Your two subordinates naturally cannot stop me. Surely His Highness the Champion King, who can conquer the world, wouldn't be so ruthless and heartless to his own subordinates?"

"How dare you! You mustn't be disrespectful to His Highness!" Another servant, his face contorted with rage, raised his hand and pressed down on his shoulder, trying to force him to kneel.

"The Valley Master of Ten Thousand Poisons Valley? So it's the Poison Divine Physician, Mr. He." Qin Yan waved his hand at the troupe and squinted slightly as he sized up He Qianji.

Seeing Qin Yan's gesture, Na Buqu released He Qianji, stepped aside, and glared angrily at He Qianji.

Seeing that Qin Yan did not punish the two sergeants, He Qianji no longer gave him any attention and focused on watching Su Yan prepare the medicine.

When Su Yan heard that he had come to see her, she looked up at him curiously, "Mr. He? You've come to see me?"

"Hehe, little girl..." He Qianji laughed like a big bad wolf luring a little white rabbit, a stark contrast to his arrogant attitude towards Qin Yan just now. "May I ask, did your master pass this prescription on to you?"

"Why are you asking this?" Su Yan asked instead of answering.

He Qianji's smile became even more like that of a wicked villain. "The ingredients in this prescription are truly wonderful. Among the dozens of prescriptions for treating plague that have been passed down in my Wan Du Valley for hundreds of years, I cannot find one that can compare to this one. Therefore, I would like to meet the owner of this prescription, ask him some questions, and also exchange medical skills with him."

"Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, sir. I don't have a master; I found this prescription by chance in an ancient medical book."

He Qianji looked disappointed. "Who wrote that medical book?"

"The medical book is not famous, and I do not know who wrote it."

Qin Yan, who was standing next to her, turned to look at her and raised his eyebrows slightly: Liar.

Su Yan looked back defiantly: So what if I lied?

The Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons sounds like a sect that isn't exactly reputable. Who knows if this Mr. Crane is good or bad to them?

Qin Yan smiled helplessly yet indulgently. What could he do when his sister lied? Naturally, he would help her lie too.

“Mr. He, this prescription was indeed found in an ancient medical book.”

He Qianji never expected that Su Yan would come up with the idea herself. Even if he had, he would have subconsciously denied the possibility because of Su Yan's age, so he quickly believed the two's story.

Just then, Su Zhan returned.

Before she arrived, her voice preceded her, "Ayan, I heard that the medicine you developed is remarkably effective, saving the lives of the people in the city. You are truly the pride of our Su family..."

Upon entering the pharmacy, Su Zhan paused in his speech when he saw an unfamiliar middle-aged man standing inside.

When her own brother exposed her lie, Su Yan blinked obediently in the face of He Qianji's angry glare.

Well, as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed!

Su Yan showed no embarrassment or guilt whatsoever, and smiled innocently and obediently at He Qianji.

And she was smiling so sweetly.

On the contrary, Qin Yan, who was next to her, felt a little embarrassed and guilty for her because of her thick skin. He silently moved two steps to the side, leaving Su Yan and He Qianji staring at each other.

But his movement drew the attention of both of them.

Seeing how disloyal she was, Su Yan glared at him with her peach blossom eyes, her little face full of accusation.

He Qianji snorted, "Hmph~ The dignified Prince Champion actually lied to an old man like me. The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be!"

Qin Yan couldn't stand Su Yan's accusing gaze. It made him feel like he had done something terribly wrong to her, and he couldn't help but feel indebted and guilty towards her.

Under her intense gaze, Qin Yan couldn't help but take the blame for her. "Ahem, it's my fault. I shouldn't have lied to you, sir. But Mr. He is in his prime, he can't be called an old man, can he?"

"Your Highness, who is this gentleman?" Su Zhan frowned and looked at He Qianji after hearing Qin Yan admit his mistake, sizing him up.

Who is this person who made His Highness apologize to him?

"This is Mr. Crane, the master of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons."

The Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons is famous for its poisons and medical skills, and Su Zhan had naturally heard of it.

He looked at He Qianji with surprise, never expecting that the Valley Master of Wan Du Valley, a place with a history of hundreds of years, would be so unkempt.

He Qianji wasn't interested in them, only in Su Yan. For the next three days, he kept pestering Su Yan to take her as his disciple.
